About The Owner:
Hi there! I’m Austin—a martial artist, competitor, blogger, and the owner of the Mixed Martial Arts Lifestyle (MMAL) blog. Martial arts has been one of my greatest passions since I was 13, shaping my life in countless ways.
From the moment I discovered martial arts, I became obsessed with the science behind each discipline and the health benefits they offer. Over the years, my passion has only grown, leading me to create this blog to share the insights.
I’ve dedicated much of my life to learning various martial arts styles. If you’re curious about how martial arts can impact your life, you’ll find everything you need right here on Mixed Martial Arts Lifestyle (MMAL).”
Why I Created Mixed Martial Arts Lifestyle (MMAL)
I created Mixed Martial Arts Lifestyle (MMAL) to help newcomers understand that martial arts is more than just a self-defense sport. While it strengthens both the body and mind, it also shapes character, instilling the discipline and resilience needed to overcome life’s challenges.
Having experienced these benefits firsthand, my goal is to inspire others to find a martial arts discipline that suits them—one that helps them grow, both physically and mentally.
